To a/Zl whom, it may cm1/cern: l

Be it known that I, JESSE C. ScoGGINs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Alva, in the county of- Woods and Territory of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vises, of which the following is a specication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in' vises, and pertains more particularly to those used in metal-working. i

The object of my invention is to provide a device of this character which is provided with numerous adjustments, whereby the clamping-jaws may be adjusted to or Jfrom the base to which the vise is attached or at any angle thereto, said jaws adapted to be oscillated independent of the other adjustments, thus producing a vise of this character in which the jaws may be adjusted in any desired position.

Another object of my invention is to provide a vise of this character in which the jaws are plrovided with means whereby the angle at w ich the jaws are to be oscillated may be readily determined.

A further object of my invention is to provide a more simple, cheap, and effective vise of this character having the numerous adjustments.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved vise. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view showing the jaws adjusted in their outward position. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view showing the jaws oscillated to one side'and also showin the means for oscillating and holding sai jaws 1n said position. Fig. 4 is a perspective view ofthe cam for locking the stan ardl to the arm.

Referring now to the drawings, 1 represents a clamp which, as shown, is rovided with a set-screw 2, by means of w 'ch the same may be readily attached to the anvilbench or other place, as desired. The said clamp 1, as clearly shown, is provided on its upper Jface with an upwardly-'extending lug 3, upon which is mounted the main vise-supv'porting member 4. The said member 4 is provided adjacent its end with an opening 5, through whichthe lug 3 passes, and is provided with a split outer end 6, which is provided with a thumb-screw 7, by means of which said member is allowed to oscillate upon the lug 3, but may be securely locked thereon in its adjusted position.

The main body portion of the vise-supporting bracket is provided with a longitudinallyextending groove 8 in its upper face, and said groove is of a channel-like form, having a broader lower end 9 for the purpose hereinafter more fully described. Fitting within and slidably mounted upon said vise-supporting bracket 4 is the main or body :portion o1' standard 10 of the vise pro er, which is provided at its lower end wit a downwardl extending groove 8 an is provided at its lower end'with the enlarged portion or head 12, which slides in the groove 9 and allows the standard 10 to be moved longitudinally in the slot and also allows the same to be turned therein, but reventing the upward movement thereon. he said in is of a length slightly greater than the epth of the slot, thus leaving a space above said slot. Loosely mounted upon said pin between the upper face oi the member 4 and the standard 10 is a cam 1 3, which is adapted to act upon the 'lower'A cam-surface 13 of the standard 10, and thus said standard is rmly locked upon the visesupportingl sition. T e said standard 10 at its upper end is provided with anenlarged transverse opening 14, in which is loosely mounted an elongated sleeve 15, which is adapted to oscillate in said standard, and is provided on its outer'face within the standard withV the threaded portion 16, which is adapted to be engaged by a transverse key 17, passing transversely through an opening 18. in the standard, and said key is rotatably supported, but held against longitudinal movement. The outer end of said key 17 is provided with a squared end 19 for receivin a wrench whereby the key is rotated, and te sleeve 15 is caused to oscillate according to the direction the key is rotated.v As clearly shown, one end of said sleeve 15 is flush with one edge of the standard 10, while the opposite end extends a considerable distance beyond the same. The said extended end 20 has its upper face formed with an elon ated flat portion 21, which is provided wit a longitudinally-extending dovetail recess 22, in which is slidably mounted the block 23, and carried by the upper face of said iiat portion 21 is the stationary jaw 24 of the vise. The said jaw is -provided'with a horizontally-extended portion 25, through which a thumb-screw 26 passes and enters the block 23, and thus the stationary jaw 24 may be moved longitudimember 4 in its adjusted po-y in 11, which passes into t e IOO nally upon the upper smooth face of' the sleeve, as will be readily seen.

'lhe sleeve 15, as before described, is of an elongated form and is provided with the large opening 26, extending nearly entirely therethrough, but leaving a solid portion 27 at its outer end, which is provided with a reduced opening 28, the purpose of which will be hereinafter more fully described. Fitting loosely within the large opening 26 of the sleeve is the elongated stem portion 29 of the movable jaw 30,-said stem portion being of an angular form to correspond with the an- `but is held against longitudinal movement.

The outer end of the screw 32 is provided with a handle or crank 35, by means of which it is operated, and thus the jaws are moved to or from each other.

The sleeve 15 adjacent the standard 10 is provided with a circumferential flange 36, having a graduated scale thereon, and the -standard is provided with a hand 37, extending over the said {lange and indicating at what angle the aws are set or may be set.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isj 1. A vise, comprising a clamp, an arm pivotally carried by the clamp, means for locking the arm in its adjusted position on the clamp, a standard longitudinally movably mounted on said arm and adapted to rotate, a cam for locking said standard in its adjusted position on the arm against rotation and longitudinal movement, an oscillating sleeve horizontally arranged within the standard and carrying a jaw means for lookin said sleeve in its adjusted position, a sleeveglongi- 4tudinally movable in the first-mentioned sleeve and held against rotation, and carrying a jaw, and means for longitudinally adjusting said sleeve Within the irst sleeve.

2.
